The Crimson-Backed Tanager Is A Spectacular Red Bird With A Striking Silver Beak

I've discovered a new love for the entire tanager family of bird species. Every time I think I've seen the prettiest, most striking member of the family, another one appears to amaze me. In the end, I can't choose a favorite and simply love them all. Today's obsession is the crimson-backed tanager, Ramphocelus dimidiatus, a striking red bird who knows how to accessorize. While many birds might think the bright red and black had more than enough impact, these birds add a shining silver beak.

Fortunately, they aren't in any danger of extinction right now, listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List with little signs of habitat erosion.
